My oriental lilies are gorgeous this year (can't remember what they are - Stargazer? Mona Lisa?)

But I don't have a clue how to use them. How the heck do you use a big stalk like this in an arrangement? (I'm a beginner, of course.)

I actually like them alone in the vase but I know I've seen them in arrangements. I can't take them off the stalk bcs then there's just a short stem to work with. What am I missing?
